YouTube personality turned professional boxer Jake Paul has delivered a retirement ultimatum ahead of his upcoming bout, according to a report from The Independent. The 29-year-old fighter, who has built a 10-1 professional record since 2020, suggested his next fight could be his last if certain conditions are not met.
Paul's statement adds intrigue to a career that has blended social media celebrity with legitimate boxing competition. Since his professional debut, he has faced former MMA champions, fellow influencers, and most recently, former world champion boxer Tommy Fury in a split-decision loss in February 2023.
The specific terms of Paul's ultimatum were not detailed in the initial report. His promotional company, Most Valuable Promotions, has not yet announced an opponent or date for his next scheduled appearance in the ring.
